Peanut Butter Graham Cracker Treats

DONT FORGET!!! My giveaway is going on this week....check it out here :) Now, on to the goods!

My husband is gone this week on a missions trip. I am super excited for him and the youth group because I am sure it will be a great trip, but super sad that I am unable to go. The good part is that I cannot go because I got a job, the sad part is that I will be away from my amazing husband for the first time since we got married. I am missing him dearly already. To quell my longing heart, I decided to make something tasty for myself. I know that Josh is not thrilled by peanut butter like I am, so I'm taking advantage by making peanut butter graham cracker balls!! They are similar to buckeyes in a lot of ways, but also different :) Check it out!

Directions
Mix together the peanut butter and crushed graham cracker until fairly dry. Roll into balls and place on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes. Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate and dip the chilled treats into the chocolate with a fork. Add any toppings! Chill and eat when completely dry! YUMMY!

I am keeping mine in the freezer so that I can just grab one from time to time when I want, but they won't go bad since I will be eating them by myself for the next few weeks until they are finally gone!

Kara, I will keep your husband's safety in my prayers. I know, with my husband being in the Army Reserves, how difficult it is to be away from him. I will pray for you, as well! :-) These look SO good! I am definitely going to try them! I love peanut butter and chocolate. Thanks forl inking up with "Try a New Recipe Tuesday!" Many blessings, Lisa
